A day late, but done.

CAIRO — President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt resigned his post and turned over all power to the military on Friday, ending his nearly 30 years of autocratic rule and bowing to a historic popular uprising that has transformed politics in Egypt and around the Arab world.

Proof positive that even in Egypt, people can now enjoy freedom of speech following the removal of a neo-despot!

Bah!

Isn't it scary Sarah's #2 in popularity in the party now?

Sarah 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Number 2?  She is number 4 in the latest Fox News poll.  I doubt she will be higher than that in the CPAC poll when they announce it.

The ruling military pledged Saturday to eventually hand power to an elected civilian government and reassured allies that Egypt will abide by its peace treaty with Israel after the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak, as it outlined the first cautious steps in a promised transition to greater democracy.

CPAC? They were punishing her because she didn't want to go. Something to do with the homo's being there.

But your buddies at Newsmax put her #1! Run Sarah Run!

Sarah Palin's recent book success and her new high-profile role on Fox News are having a stunning impact on her political standing, with a Newsmax-Zogby poll showing the former Alaska governor now leading the GOP field as the party's preferred candidate for president.

The exclusive Newsmax Media-Zogby poll released Thursday asked likely GOP voters: "If the Republican primary for president of the United States were held today. . .  for whom would you vote?"

The poll gave voters a selection of top-tier potential candidates, as well as some dark horses,. The list included Scott Brown, Jeb Bush, Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin, David Petraeus, Tim Pawlenty, and Mitt Romney.

Despite the size and diversity of the field, Palin grabbed a solid 22.2 percent to take the lead with former Massachusetts Gov. Romney close behind with 19.4 percent.

Also making a strong showing was former House Speaker Newt Gingrich with 12 percent, followed by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee at 11 percent.

And she's run run running second in the latest CNN poll:

I thought The Quitter never went to CPAC? Since she is trademarking her name maybe they did not offer her enough dollar bills, yo.

Well. She tried! <Linky


Quote
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's bid to trademark her name and that of her daughter, Bristol, ran into trouble at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office because the application forms were unsigned, government records show.

Applications to trademark the names Sarah Palin and Bristol Palin, both for "motivational speaking services," were filed on November 5 by the Palins' longtime family attorney, Thomas Van Flein, but were quickly slapped down by a trademark examiner.

"Registration is refused because the applied-for mark, SARAH PALIN, consists of a name identifying a particular living individual whose consent to register the mark is not of record," the patent agency said in an office action.

I guess she didn't have to sign the applications to the four (or five?) colleges she "went to".

Does anyone know if they tried to trademark just their names or Sarah Barracuda and Bristol the Pistol too? How bout Todd the cheater?

The Todd Enquirer story turned out, surprise, to be another false one.

But I'm counting on Palin not running regardless of where she comes in the polls.  Although I need to get with Nutty to renegociate the terms of the bet...

I don't remember seeing where the Todd story was false but it's no biggie. I do remember tweeting something like: "So Todd Palin's actually got a pig with lipstick on the side!".

Polls are a dime a dozen and are always skewered the way the folks who commission them want. That's why I spend little time believing them, unless they're from a highly neutral source.

What's funny is the Republican take on Palin. The mainstream, old guard Republicans (you know, the ones who first embraced her) are now keeping her at arm's length. The Teabagger Republicans love her winks to them and would make her Queen of the World if they had a chance. The Libertarian Republicans (which I guess includes you now) should love her because she embodies and mimics their principles so well.

But...the real love affair with them is Ron Paul. He who will save the nation from its' government. That, I suspect, is why Palin polled so bad at the CPAC.

Oh, the bet! I'm in! Let's negotiate!

Why would you donate to the muche? Quite honestly, especially after setting this place up, it costs nothing - NOTHING! - to run unless you want to pay a couple of dollars a month to decrease the ads. They haven't done that in over a year, haven't done anything to sell shit, haven't upgraded (they've actually downgraded) the forum, haven't done anything but freak out worrying I might be lurking in the shadows. What part of THEY DON'T GIVE A DAMN! do you not understand?  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

But, hey, y'all can keep your bet over there and donate to MLG's film fund or move the bet over here. Your call!

Hah. I did a little research on this one. Looks like it was definitely false and got a lot of people in trouble. Seems like Palingates did a story on it and outright named it's source as a client of the purported ho. I guess the shit hit the fan and some folks were fired from Palingates and the blog entry was deleted.

I saw a follow up story of a police report that said that Todd was never part of the investigation.  Not sure what got the Enquirer on it though.  They are damaging their sterling journalistic reputation.

Yeah I contributed some in December but it's unlikely I'll do that again under current management.

What's funny is that was the ONE place online I was willing to spend money on.  Everything else I demand for free. 

Now, I demand everything for free.

Now what about this bet? And when are you going to start topics? Sheesh, you've got your own thread here!
